Who are we?
The Inventors Network of the Capital Area is a non-profit educational organization. Our members are interested in patents, the innovation process, product design, marketing, and other product development issues. Every month we hold a meeting, usually with a guest speaker and a chance to network with fellow inventors. Meetings are free and open to the public. Please come and participate and share in pizza and soda. Membership, only $24 per year, includes voting rights in our organization.
